Custom software application development from ITFlux

In the age of off the shelf products and Software as a Service (SAAS) Models one would think that custom software application development is a yesteryear phenomenon.

Though there is some truth in this as many of the custom development does not happen the same way or in other words there has been a lower amount of completely customized applications in the near past. Businesses have only grown further in their dynamic nature. With market readiness as a key factor and the target markets changing dramatically in both demands and competition, business have to be more than ever equipped to meet the trends

The dynamism of the market has forced businesses to redefine their approaches which in turn need their software and tools to be able to address these changes. This makes many existing systems less than proper very often. So while packaged applications and SAAS model are gaining advances the need for customizing an application to meet specific business needs still prevail and are in need much as before.

The first impression people get when they hear of a custom software application development is that you will be deploying a team to start writing the software from scratch. Well that is where the difference lies. The new applications and to a great extend the open source movement has brought together a community of developers who are building frameworks to address just about every business need in a generic fashion. These open source products provide the customers with the flexibility to have the source code on which they can build on.

Here are some examples of custom software application development and packaged software going hand in hand.

1. A customer who is in need of a content management system is not going to start hiring a few developers, select a scripting language and start writing code. They would use one of the many open source tools like Joomla, Drupal, OpenCMS etc… to use the CMS system as it is and then customize it to their specific needs. The advantage is that it gives them a tremendous speed in implementing saving both time and money. Since they have the source code they could have something developed completely to their need in a fraction of the cost
2. I still remember the days when businesses use to build accounting applications and inventory management solutions and even large level MRP and ERP solutions from scratch with a battalion of developers working over long periods and long investments. Then comes the entry of products like OpenERP that brings you a completely functional ERP system that can stand on PAR with many commercial applications in the market and at the same time give you the flexibility to do the necessary customization and have your business completely propelled by world class software.
3. I also would not leave out the emergence of CRM which is also significant for the reason that Salesforce.com a CRM application are the people who build the whole market of Platform As a Service (PAAS). SugarCRM another opensource solution comes free with a ton of modules free built in and give you access to the source code that you can tweak and suit your specific business needs

In business there is always a hard way, an easy way and a smart way. Custom Software Application Development using Open source tools is definitely the Smart if not the smartest way.
